However, Rhapsody's new download service is currently available only in the US. The music will be priced at $0.99 (50p) a song and $9.99 for most albums, which is roughly the same as its competitors. Following Queen’s meteoric rise, their revolutionary sound and Freddie’s solo career, the film also chronicles the band’s reunion, and one of the greatest performances in. Listeners will also be able to preview an entire song before they purchase it on Rhapsody, which is not possible on iTunes or Amazon. Bohemian Rhapsody is an enthralling celebration of Queen, their music, and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and convention to become one of history’s most beloved entertainers.
Smith said: 'We're no longer competing with the iPod. Users were previously not able to play music on Apple's iPod, which Neil Smith, Rhapsody vice president, said limited Rhapsody's reach.
Until now, Rhapsody, which is jointly owned by Real Networks and Viacom's MTV Networks, has been a music rental service where users paid a subscription, starting at $12.99 (£6.50) a month, that gave them unlimited song streaming. However, sites such as Amazon's MP3 service, which launched last September, do not.
Users will be able to download songs in MP3 format and play them on any music device, including an iPod, because Rhapsody's new service does not use digital rights management software, which controls how widely music can be distributed.Īpple's iTunes store still uses DRM for a portion of its music.
